1: The very idea o...Couple o’ things on this one…<br /><br />1: The very idea of being tripped by an ant is funny in itself! If I recall the cartoon correctly (and, unlike with Bugs Bunny), you never even see the tripping action. Daddy just runs and flops – the ant and the act of tripping is unseen because the ant is so small. Am I correct on this? <br /><br />2: This one was part of a Quick Draw McGraw soundtrack record I had as a kid – with the actual voices of Daws, Don, Doug, and the rest. That’s why I remember it as well as I do – but am fuzzy on some of the visuals. <br /><br />3: Michael Maltese (who was apparently writing stories for the Woody Woodpecker Dell comic book at the same time) appears to have done a take on this in WOODY WOODPECKER # 56 (1959). No picnic, but Woody runs afoul of the residents of Knothead and Splinter’s ant farm. Similar gags ensue – there’s even an ant dribbling a strawberry like a basketball into a strainer hoop – and Woody “bricks-up his chimney” to keep the pests out, as I believe Daddy did in a cartoon about a skunk (?) <br /><br />For the Woody comics, Maltese did duplicate, almost gag-for-gag, the Augie cartoon where Daddy thinks Augie robbed a bank (see my comments in the post Yowp did for that cartoon) – and it looks as if he did a similar borrowing here – though more the concept of ant-battles, and not strictly the cartoon gag-for-gag.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-85857654426433044722012-04-29T16:24:14.378-07:002012-04-29T16:24:14.378-07:00Donald Duck also battled ants (and lost) in "...Donald Duck also battled ants (and lost) in "Tea For Two Hundred".Bobby Bickertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-50977213682291337912012-04-28T16:28:14.376-07:002012-04-28T16:28:14.376-07:00RJ, it's really hard to paste together the pan...RJ, it's really hard to paste together the pans because the colours don't match.
